  1. Reference was correct they are both a4 8k.
  2. Thanks,I believe both codes are 10, one isn't that readable though. I assume I would need to have them tested so may not be worth it as don't have a tester.
  3. Went through the cupboard and found these, I got a few years ago. Anyone know what they are worth, they were a matching pair. My Feliks amp had a issue with the right channel years ago and everything just got out into the cupboard.
  4. Two custom made plates, one under pedals and the other under the seat with two aurasound shakers off two $30 sounds cards from store DJ. Had an amazing feel when the vrs DD is going off as well when you hitting curbs.
  5. My third iteration of my setup, just completed over the weekend and it's final amazing. Only the cost of a small car haha

  11. Mine is on wheels so I roll it in and out of the spare room atm.
  12. I would probably upgrade you amp first, everything else is decent enough. You could even go a amp/dac combo, Something like a Questyle Twelve maybe for about 2g. At that price range you have a few option, even Violectric V281 or a tube amp might be a decent idea like Woo Audio or Feliks. For classical a sabre chip might be a better option for DAC but your dac isn't old or bad and could be a straight swap if you found someone to swap with.
  13. I found it to be blah when comparing it to my small su8. It's ok but the detail is lacklustre. My recommendation is the smsl su8 V2, both RCA and XLR out. It's also only about $400. It is a sabre chip so as in any DAC it depends on your system. Heard Clay's new DAC, it's very nice but outside your budget.
  14. Nice, I absolutely love mine now, took ages to get them to really sing with my setup. The ZMF Aoelus is like the big brother to the HD6xx and was my preferred headphone over the HD800s but not now. Just as mentioned before it may take a while to get the gear to make them really enjoyable. Still looking for upgrades but will see whats next. With regard to second hand HD800s's always be cautious. They extremely popular but have been around for almost 5 years now. People still ask top dollar for the first series but when you have a month old headphone versus a 5 year old one there is plenty to be cautious about. Check whats in box as well as the cables are expensive and the serial number to get an idea on how old they are.
  15. Ben was commenting on all black coloured gear. It is a journey , next thing you may want to look at is a streamer haha
  16. Depending on what volume you listen to music, the HD800s leak so much sound so might want to consider that. Violectric make a great solid state amp which can come with a DAC, extreme power with a bit of warmth. People love the Taurius, even the Questyle maybe, there is always the IFI or even try a SPL. There are opinion, maybe walk into A2A and try some combos out they should have some HD800s to test there as well I would assume. If you went the other way, could get a R2R DAC which should be a warm DAC and add a cheap clinical amp like a Drop or SMSL SP200. Saw the Cyan Halo looks interesting as, maybe check it out.
  17. Not in a A/B comparison with similar gear. I listened to some nice DIY tube amps and some Woo Audio ones at the last Brisbane meet but its hard when you they not only run different gear but also different tubes. I know the crack is meant to be nice but it also needs some upgraded tubes to get it's full potential out as with most tube amps. What I can say, the standard tubes on the Echo are decent and didn't have a problem with them but the upgraded tubes opened the amp up so much in terms of quality and sound. I would say the HD800s are some of the most comfortable headphones at a semi un/reasonable price you can get. Nah the vocals are amazing on the HD800s especially female vocals but you need the right amp and DAC to complement it, the issue you have to work around the HD800s by getting an amp and DAC combo which is detailed but still warm. This may then make the HD6xx warmer and more lush overall but then probably loss detail but would be great for certain music. What can happen and why people don't end up liking them, if you get a very clinical amp and DAC (say a sabre DAC and something like a THX amp) it becomes very treble heavy and lacks a lot of bass and maybe a little unnatural. I have a sabre DAC and it is good with a warm amp but it was terrible with my thx amp on the HD800s. I would recommend the ZMF as they are easier to work around but the HD800s do bring something no other headphone can bring to the table.
  18. I have the Feliks Audio Echo with upgraded tubes, picture in my avatar. Benjet has heard it and I personally find it a really enjoyable amp. Matches both the ZMF and Sennheiser, although I find myself gravitating to the ZMF sometimes but the HD800s is comfort king. I still need to upgrade my DAC though. Could have been the tubes or the headphones may have not matched it. My Feliks has zero background noise, absolutely zero hum but I do run 300ohm headphones. I am planning to get one of the higher level Feliks Audio amps at some point. In terms of the Focal stuff it can be severely uncomfortable, the cups dont move, the cup fabric can get hot, the band is also fabric on top which can degrade and is not replaceable. I found the cups too small for me and the angle of the cups uncomfortable over time. They can perfectly fit people but not me. The Utopia fixes a few issues but comes with a price tag.
  19. It probably wont sound nice with the HD800s, the sound will probably be too thin. The HD6xx is probably covering up a lot of your setup short comings. I think the ZMF is a all rounder and you can improve the rest of the system around it, you cant do that with the HD800s, they are very picky on systems...trust me I found out the hard way. You can EQ them but that can take a lot of effort. Not sure about the rest of the headphones apart from the Clear which also can be picky and has a low impedance of 55 ohm so you have to be careful with tube options. Not end game but would be decent, very liked in the community. I have a Feliks Audio amp which pairs nicely. The crack also should pair nicely with the HD6xx but won't work with the Focal Clear as the impedance wont match.
  20. Have the HD800s and great headphones, if you have the HD6xx might not be your sound though. Hated the Focal fit, clears were ok for sound quality. What about ZMF either the Aoelus or Auteur, ZMF are amazing. Audio Tech meant to be good, Arya good except the QC is bad for the price, Bererdynamics have a decent following. You may want to add you system setup as headphones will depend on this as well.
  21. Amazing IEM except the fit and can be fatiguing. Also price is up there. I would go with the Sony IER M7 best bang for buck IEM there is.
